Servicing

Upgrades

Acoustic Streams are authorised and trained Linn specialists. We are in a position to advise you not only on purchasing new Linn equipment but also how to get the best out of your current Linn equipment, your LP12 in particular.Like any precision piece of engineering, your LP12 will need a service once in a while to keep it performing at the highest level. This involves fully dismantling the turntable and rebuilding, replacing all perishable parts. We meticulously check every part of the turntable during this process. Adjusting every spring, bolt and grommet to ensure every piece is how it should be. Lots of little tweaks add up to big gains in performance.

Although the basic three-point suspended sub chassis design has remained the same for over 40 years, Linn have made countless improvements along the way. Fortunately for anyone that owns an LP12, all of the current range of upgrades will fit your existing LP12.A lot of companies will offer their own esoteric upgrades for the LP12, such as belts and mats. We use only genuine Linn parts. Linn put a phenomenal amount of resources into researching how to better their previous designs. They have access to very sophisticated design and manufacturing processes that others simply cannot compete with and the end result is clear.

History

Linn launched the Sondek LP12 in 1972. Linn’s first product and the start of their “Source first” ethos. “Source first” went against the grain in Hi-Fi at a time when speakers and amplification were considered the most critical aspects in a system. As the LP12 recently celebrated its 40th Birthday, I think it’s safe to say there was something in their thinking!
